Putting on the ritz |
| Have you seen the well to do? |
| Up and down Park Avenue? |
| On that famous thoroughfare |
| With their noses in the air? |
| High hats and arrowed collars |
| Wide spats and fifteen dollars |
| Spending every dime |
| For a wonderful time ! |
| If you’re blue and you don' know |
| Where to go to, why don’t you go |
| Where fashion sits? |
| Putting On The Ritz |
| Different types, who wear a day |
| Co-pants with stripes, and cut away |
| Coat, perfect fits? |
| Putting On The Ritz |
| Dressed up like a million dollar trooper |
| Trying hard to look like Gary Cooper |
| Super-duper ! |
| Come, let’s mix where Rockerfellas |
| Walk with sticks, or umbrellas |
| In their mitts |
| Putting On The Ritz |
| Spangled gowns upon a beauty of hand-me-downs, on clown and cutie |
| All misfits |
| Putting On The Ritz |
| Tips his hat just like an English chappie |
| To a lady with the wealthy happy |
| Very Snappy ! |
| You’ll declare it’s simply topping |
| To be there, and hear them swapping |
| Smart titbits |
| Putting On the Ritz (3x) !! |
